It's an old quote, yes, but strangely...
I have the exact same amp connected to a Xonar DX by optical It works well, and while dolby digital live is great, DTS passthrough from movies (which you might already be able to do) is better. DTS is backwards compatible so you can throw any version of DTS data at the amp and it will decode nicely.
Bear in mind the analog outputs are muted in DD live mode, digital only. Also the analog sound is a lot better then realtek onboard if you are going to use it.
I got the Asus xonar dx today
Connected via optical digital to my amp.
